Happy Birthday!

And your brother traded in a promising career teaching at a third rate trade school to be a secretary at a construction company. ... Shrewd.

How the fuck you going to write about "shrewdness" when everyone in your family has a broken chromosome?

I loved having those red ranks....

I would compare it to a pair of drunks swinging at each other until one of them finally connects. Pitching on both sides was amazing, though. Edit: This kind of sums it up.

I would not call that great baseball, but it took a lot of heart.

Hey @Sawdamizer... It's 4 am. You still up?

I hear ya, there. I'm not sure where the tradition of spirits with disjointed limbs and appendages comes from, but at least part of the menace comes from the idea of the body not being controlled by its own soul. Possession stories often use the disjointed appendage as visual manifestation of demonic possession, so it's only natural to assume that the source of this particular type of folklore is from early attempts to explain neurological disorders and their relationship to motor disorders in humans.

Lol. Without having a whole lot about West African deities and supernatural folklore, it's worth noting that both places were populated by people from there via the slave trade starting in the 16th Century. As far as creatures with feet or appendages that can swivel, I can find at least one that hails from the tropics of the Americas, which could be a source of that part of the myth. At any rate, it's not unreasonable to consider the possibility that the legends of the Curupira travelled from Brazil to the Caribbean because of that shared ancestral connection.

There is not good reason for Zeni to be 6-1.

To the same dude that beat you in Week One, bro.

Like the one where you thought someone was making fun of you being raped but was really just you overreacting?

Lol. He really is Worst Naraku.

Oh ok. At least she isn't one of those hands on types. They're bad news.

Is she domineering? That wasn't clear when you first recounted the story.

She needs to give her son a talking to about being a responsible D.

I always kind of imagined that went someplace....

You profile is nice.

Inorite? That's why I'm never letting any of you motherfuckers see me. (Cues Nabs)

You got a haircut. About time.

It's fucked up all around. Just thought it was weirdly inappropriate that ElliotGundam thought it would be a great idea to joke about stalking track stars right about now.

Oh good. I was having a hell of time figuring out what you were mumbling.

Always knew he had a little psycho in him.
